DOCTOR'S TRIP BY 'PLANE.

Dr S. Hay, of Eotorua, made good use of an aeroplane on Sunday to cover the first stage of his journey to Dunedin, in order to perform aa urgent operation.. Flying Officer K. R. Money, of Eotorua Airways, was near Hamilton when he received a message from Dr Hay. He flew immediately to Rotorua and picked up his passenger. Darkness was approaching when the aeroplane reached the vicinity of Dannevirke on the trip south, and, as the regular aerodrome could not be picked, a field was chosen for the landing, which took place in the dusk. Tbe flight from Dannevirke was resumed on Monday morning, and Wellington was reached about 11.30 a.m., the pilot having been compelled to attain an altitude of 10,000 ft to obtain the best wind conditions. Eongotai aerodrome was left behind at noon. The night was spent at Timaru, and the jouw«y was comple'ed at the Taien aerodrome. The flying time for the 600 air miles was 9f hours. Flying-Officer Money, who says that Taieri is one of the best airports in the Dominion, expects to leave for Eotorua tomorrow.—Yesterday's Star.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 97.61%.
